1 | His eternal spirit or the eternal Spirit | Heb 9:14 | Ray | 144704 | ||
My Study Bible has a marginal note for Hebrews 9:14 of "Or, His eternal spirit". What is suggested to you by these different renderings? Hebrews 9:14, "how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" And with the alternate reading: Hebrews 9:14, "how much more will the blood of Christ, who through His eternal spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?" From the heart, Ray |

2 | His eternal spirit or the eternal Spirit | Heb 9:14 | Brigham | 144710 | ||
I think the difference deals with the divinity of Christ. "the eternal Spirit" (which after reading the greek seems more appropriate) shows that God gave Jesus the Spirit to fulfill tasks. It seems to put more power in God. The second reading Christ did it what he did entirely on his own. I disagree with this, as I feel community is strikingly important. The second reading also seems to contradict the Gethsemene struggle. Also, very importantly, there are many types of Bibles. There are translations, and there there are amplifications. Translations attempt a direct translations of words. Amplifications (The Living Bible, etc) try to communicate the basic meaning, and can ignore direct translations. |
